IPL 2023 / This player will replace Shreyas Iyer as the captain of KKR! Injury increased the tension of the team

IPL 2023: IPL is going to start at the end of this month. The first match of IPL will be played between Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. Meanwhile, about two weeks before the IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer has increased the tension of his team. Let us tell you that during the fourth match of the Test series played between India and Australia, Shreyas Iyer complained of pain in his lower back. After this, he did not even come to bat and field in the match. Now it is believed that Shreyas may miss some matches for IPL and Team India in the coming time.

This player can get a chance

Shreyas Iyer is the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in this season's IPL, but due to his injury, he may miss the opening matches of the season. In such a situation, the Kolkata team is looking for a captain. Meanwhile, there is a player in his team who can handle the team's work as a captain. This player has recently performed brilliantly as captain for his team. We are talking about Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib Al Hasan was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders team this year for Rs 1.5 crore. Now he can prove to be beneficial for the team in the absence of Shreyas.

Shakib crushed the world champions

Under the captaincy of Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh team defeated the World Cup winning team England. Bangladesh won the T20 series played between Bangladesh and England by 3-0 under his captaincy. Shakib has good experience as a captain. In such a situation, the KKR team management can make him the captain. It will not be too difficult for KKR to choose their captain this IPL as they have more than one match-winner in their squad.

This season is important for KKR

This IPL season is going to be very important for Kolkata Knight Riders. His team's performance in the IPL played last year was nothing special. The team was eliminated from the league stage itself. He had lost 8 out of 14 matches played in the league stage and his team was at number seven on the points table. In such a situation, this season is going to be very important for him.
